Every Day I'm Snorkelin'

I received an email from my dad about K9 Navy SEALs. These
dogs are highly trained; they can parachute out of a plane and repel out of a
helicopter. He ended the email asking if this was something Tiny could do.

My response: Are you
kidding?! Tiny Dog is afraid of the doorbell. And after seeing how spastic she
was when she fell off of the sofa, I don't think parachuting is in her future.

My mother’s response: Yes, just think about her face-planting from 30,000 feet.

It’s true, she sometimes forgets she has legs. Like the other
night when she jumped off the sofa to grab a toy I was holding, forgot she had
legs, and landed on her face. In hindsight, funny, at the time, scary.

The ironic part is that just the other day I made the comment
to my brother that I think she was in the Navy in a past life. Here’s why: she
loves small spaces, so she would do really well on a submarine, and she loves
to snorkel for ice in the baby pool. I know, 2 reasons, not a ton of evidence.
You’re right, she probably wanted to be in the Navy but wasn’t coordinated enough
to pass the physical.

I tried to capture her on video snorkeling, but by the time she realized that there was ice in the pool it had melted for the most part.
